I really wish you would have explained more about why you didn’t like the books other than i didn’t gel with you. Was it the pacing, to many povs, a lyrical or simple writing style, more action than character development etc.
It helps me to decide if maybe I wouldn’t like the books too or if something you didn’t like was something I typically really enjoy then it might be a book that I would try and pick up.
Night Writer I have and actively use goodreads reviews. But if I come to a video to listen to what books people didn’t like and why they didn’t like them I would obviously want to know why.
@@helgar3893 She gave a reason but it doesn't match with her rating. She should explain ffurther why it "didn't resonate with her".
Sasha, I've been watching your videos for years and I think you're very sweet, charismatic and likeable.
However, I wish you were more transparent when reviewing/rating books. I've noticed you seem afraid to give a book less than 3 stars, and in your TBR's all the books you read are 4/5 stars (and even when they're less than that, you say it was a good book and that you recommend it). In this video, it really shows - this video is so vague! I wish you would've gone into deeper detail about what it was you didn't like about a certain book.
P.s. This is NOT hate! I love Sasha and this is to be interpreted as constructive criticism :)
That's most booktubers especially the big ones. It's hard to trust them coz of that.
stating what u dislike about a book is good so people can have more broader view on it! Whether they're not okay with it too or it's something they don't mind. That is what I expect when I see vids like this, but yea I think it'll need more effort than telling people about books u like
I feel like the fact that you're scared to talk about books in a negative way makes your opinions much less trustworthy 😩 I understand that you have lots of run ins with authors, it's just unfortunate on our end...
Rebecca Ringwood She never said she lies and says she likes books when she actually doesn't. She just doesn't really talk about the ones she doesn't like as much.
So true!
@Alyssa 011 Filtering out any negative opinions when talking about books may not be outright lying, but it's still dishonest. When you have a position of influence and what you say can impact what people choose to spend their money on, you have an obligation to be completely forthright. Otherwise you're not a reviewer, you're a marketing tool for publishers. It's that simple.
To be fair to Sasha, this is not a problem unique to her. It impacts any booktuber big enough to have a working relationship with authors/publishers to varying degrees. And I do understand it to a certain extent, making a reliable income in new media is hard. But I feel like Sasha for whatever reason has a tougher time navigating between her friendly bubbly affect and the business aspect of her channel, and the result is bland content that doesn't feel the least bit genuine. Not someone whose words I'd take at face value.
Aw, I'm glad you like my name, I chose it myself!
Anyhoo, I don't hate Sasha. I have nothing against her as a human, she's very probably a lovely person, idk I don't know her. (Neither do you, for that matter.) She seems to have a lot of enthusiasm and I genuinely wish her success with her upcoming projects. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
That being said, it''s still totally within my rights to critique the way she chooses to present her channel. idk what rock you've been living under but it's far from ridiculous to say most big booktubers are publicists by proxy. Sponsored book review? Paid marketing. Holding up a book you got sent by a publisher in a haul? Paid marketing. Sponsored book club/liveshow? Paid marketing. Like I said, it's not a problem unique to Sasha, and like I said I don't necessarily have an issue with it if done right (people gotta make rent somehow, I get it, really), I just find the way she handles it to be increasingly inelegant. As do many others apparently, particularly post Zenith.
@@helgar3893 wow you're everywhere on the comments that didn't agree with the way she present this
And so what if you run into the authors of the books you don't like,it's completely normal not everyone is obliged to like anyone's books,if they show hostility towards this that means they're pretty childish,same goes for you if you show that kind of behaviour towards people who didn't like your book
Is it true that you don't want to read negative opinions regarding your own books? Because constructive criticisms is essential if you want to grow as an author and not listening/ignoring "negative" reviews is just holding you back from truly reaching your own potential as a writer.
Authors are generally advised (by other authors but also by editors, agents, etc) to not seek out negative reviews. If an element of the story is problematic, then yes, I do think the author should seek out ways to do better. But a lot of the time negative reviews are just based on personal tastes and opinions.
If you like any of these books, that’s SO FINE! Everyone has different tastes and we should all respect that! Xoxo Sasha
I like the Scottish music in the background :)
So I loved the selection trilogy, because I live that type of dystopian fantasy books. But the heir and the crown were not my cup of tea, so I agree with you!
I think everyone is rightfully entitled to their opinion but you really kept it incredibly vague. Kind of off putting to say you dislike A Game of Thrones just because you personally couldn’t handle its intensity. Or saying everything was great about a book but it just “wasn’t for you”? If it’s well written and you read the entire thing, then explain what it is you didn’t like about it rather than just simply put. I mean, I can write an entire novel on why I didn’t like your book.. oh the irony of this video.
fox x Somethings are just not your cup of tea I guess. What happens to Sasha happens to me a lot, something may be good but it doesn't fully click with me. Kinda like going go a shop and seeing clothes and you see a t-shirt or something and it's cute and there's nothing wrong with it, but it's not your style, it's not something you'd wear. Tho, I wish Sasha explained a little more what exactly didn't click for her or what she'd change of the books to enjoy it.
Lauren Teller I would’ve been solid if she had even just said what you now are saying to me but she gives no real criticism and that’s what bothered me ultimately but yes, I agree with you completely
Those book shelves are really stressing me out!!!! Girl how can you cope with that. I'd have to get those organised. I'm sure Fiona would love to get a paw on some of those books for her momma and give them some puppy nibbles.
Sasha, this is my first time commenting but I have watched your videos for about 2 years now, and I love them! I would just like to say I really do like your channel. (You are a big influence on what I do and don’t read; I know that’s a lot to put on a person!) I liked seeing this video on your channel, and hope to see more like it, but perhaps you could change it slightly? Like instead of just saying the book didn’t vibe with you (and, as a fellow reader, I understand it’s hard to explain why it didn’t vibe with you for sometimes) but perhaps give a little insight as to why you didn’t like it; such as the writing style, or main character was problematic to you, etc. You did it for some in this video and not for others. But other than that you are doing great Sweetie! Keep doing you! And I admire you for being able to do something this brave. 💋❤️👍🏻🖖🏻😊 ~Artie
This is the final video where I'm certain you are now filming videos just to have something new to post on your channel. They look so shallow and done without any effort, talking about books with no concrete arguments. I've watched you for a few years but I'm unsubscribing now since it's obvious you are doing this just to get new views and money with sponsors.
I get you have obligations and life just happens, but it's ok not to post videos if you don't have time.
Taking 5 books and just saying it's not your cup of tea is not material for filming a new video.
I'm the same. I've been watching her videos for 4 years now I suppose? She used to be one of my favorite book tubers. But her videos now are just so empty and bland. I'd much rather watch Kat Christine Jesse Natasha Reagan and the hundreds of other booktubers that make much more interesting and fleshed out content.
@@helgar3893 oh please you're acting like she didn't make lots of money from our views 😂
If your worried about giving a negative view on a book.... that just makes your reviews far less trustworthy.. and with GOT It's very long, lots of characters and descriptions and small text. YA tends to spoon-feed the story sometimes and has big text with wide spacing. I suppose because you couldn't just blitz through it like a YA novel sadly your missing out
I just saw this exact comment on guru gossip. You really can't get away from that site, can you?
Nicole Foster Guru gossip or not, he got a point.
I have no idea what guru gossip is but I left this exact same comment above and I just read his! Its truuuuee....I dont read YA often but when I do the pages so magically turn...its so quick and easy. I do read game of thrones and brandon sanderson and mainly adult books and let me tell you those are book to savor not just read through or youd be lost.
The first book in A Song of Ice and Fire is a lot of set up. The later books are definitely better so circle back when you can!
I loved both Vampire Academy and Bloodlines, but I can see why people don´t like Bloodlines as much
Officially going to start referring to unlikeable characters as burnt toast 😂
"Whinny piece of toast...there was no nutella on the toast" i love that entire description lol
You seem so much less sincere than a few years ago. To bad...
Too*
I think that these types of videos are great. If people are too hesitant to share negative opinions on books (or any art form really) then we will never really be able to improve what is produced, which is an injustice to both authors and readers.
please don’t make a video like this if you can’t elaborate your opinions. very vague....i’ve been a subscriber for three years and i hate to see how your video content has dropped in quality and your personality overshadowed by fear of conflicts with others.
I didn't like this book... well i like The série, the story, it's just like... Girl, you're entitled to have your opinion. Half of The YA books on booktube are pure trash for me, and I Will not defend Them. Don't do this kind of video if you don't want to tell your truth. Also, great product placement who's got no thing to do with The video.
Sasha,I love your videos but when you are making this kind of videos you should just say that you don't like this book not to be afraid and explain how the book was good but you just didn't enjoy it if you don't like this book just say that it is bad unless in your opinion
Hey Sasha, just wondering if you've watched any of the A Discovery of Witches TV show yet? If so do you think it's worth watching and is it comparable to the book?
I like that you're open to talking about books you didn't like and encouraging to others to not feel bad about not liking some books!
I remember watching your videos for the first time I think a few years ago and your passion and love for reading made me feel excited to go get a book and start reading.
Now I'm reading the fifth Harry Potter book and because I'm reading more my brothers got inspired to read more too, So together we're reading Percy Jackson!
I just wanted to say Thank you for making videos and sharing your love for books!
I feel like no booktuber that reads young adult likes a song of ice and fire, that is kind of sad...it is a 👌🏻 serius
Why is every single video of yours sponsored by some random brand?! Like honestly squarespace doesn't even have anything to do with the topic it's just for you to make more money...
Tabbyhenne yeah it seems nowadays that the big booktubers only make a video if it’s sponsored. It’s getting so annoying to hear “this is being sponsored by” over and over
Tabbyhenne if companies are offering sponsorships and most people were put in the same position they wouldn't say no, what's wrong with wanting to have money, that's literally what our society relies upon
Lucy Poynter Thank you! I find it ridiculous when people complain about RUclipsrs excepting sponsorships. Booktubers have bills to pay too. Being on RUclips doesn't make everyone rich.
True Blue Sonic Hero I guess you guys are right. She does need some extra money on the side because it’s not like she’s getting any money from book sales. That piece of garbage has so many negative reviews. But of course she’s too immature to handle it. It’s just haters being haters because she’s a Booktuber. Even her friends have given it like 2 stars and the big booktubers haven’t even read it because they know it sucks and don’t want to hurt sensitive Sasha’s feelings. It’s also not as if she can be like a normal person and have more then one job like a lot of people do.
Haha oh dear, if you honestly believe sponsorships are aRUclipsr's main source of income there's a lot you don't know... with that amount of subscribers and views per video Sasha can have a pretty good life without sponsored videos. In fact, there are a lot of youtubers who do one sponsored video per year or even less; and they seem to be doing just fine. Believe me even if she never did a sponsored video again she'd be able to pay her bills for the rest of her life - that's how much youtubers make. But some people (probably including her) can never have enough money, and it's a pretty easy way to make some extra cash. I think it diminishes her integrity if she does sponsored videos so often because she cannot possibly stand behind all of these products / companies etc. But just keep believing everything she tells you blindly if it makes you happy
That’s so funny that you mentioned Game of Thrones. I’m currently reading it and yes there is a lot but I am enjoying it. I love the show too
I actually really liked The Scorch Trials! However, I actually think the movie is soooo much better than the book! Which I’ve never thought about an adaptation before 😂😂
I really enjoyed the first half of the book. My problem was there were a lot of really weird things that just never got answers or explanations. I find the movies make more sense in this way :)
I love hearing your opinions and definitely agree with you on a few of these! You should make videos like this more often girl!!
This is hilarious considering the amount of awful books you like
Everyone has their own opinions. If you don't like her channel you can always unsubscribe... I don't share ALL her opinions, but for the most part I think she has great taste in books!!
Sarah Kanieski outlander is boring
Thats rude
😂😂😂
Have you even seen her goodreads account? She said she didn't like Bloodlines but she rated it 4 stars. But ok.
I get it when people say they only want to be positive on their channel/blog but like, I find it interesting to know why someone might dislike a book and sometimes it makes for a better conversation on it! Go you for doing this
Hey I'm glad you actually went out and did this. It is perfectly fine to not like a book. I found your initial hesitation before putting this video up, cute tho. It shows that you care....
I can see the reason behind the people telling you to flesh out your reviews. Although for me, I was fine with your quick reviews and I totally understood what you meant. I don’t know whether there something wrong with me, or...something I guess.
I didn't like Zenith....
Sorry 😐
Sumru Büsra tbh that’s pretty rude to say that in the comments on the author’s channel. You’re entitled to your opinion but don’t be a shitty person by commenting that on her video. You’re completely fine to not like a book, but would you ever tell her that in person if you ever met her? Then don’t put it on her video. That’s just downright rude.
addictivegamer102 didn't try to be rude or anything but since the video is about saying your opinion I wouldn't cosider it as rude. Then her entire video would be.
addictivegamer102 that would entirely contradict Sasha’s video then?
addictivegamer102 Then doesn't that make Sasha's video rude then??
@@addictivegamer102 there are many people that didn't like her book and just like Sasha herself said its ok to have and opinion and its ok to not like her book. Some books are not for everyone.
Zenith should be #1 on any Books I don't like video. It was hot shit
Joshua S. Now this is a rude comment. 😂
I have to agree though
Sumru Büsra I didn't want to be the one to say it, but she prefers the show over the A Song of Ice and Fire books. She came for my jugular. Although in hindsight it was really mean.
Joshua S. Lol true
It’s not like she’s gonna read these comments. Apparently she doesn’t read anything negative and the last few videos she’s had has been full of negative feedback. Although it is her fault for thinking that Brazilians speak Spanish 😂 and getting a lot of feedback from that. She is also a hypocrite making a readers shaming video and right after shaming youtubers for not reading or reading “kiddie” books. Also for stealing InsaneReaders idea about the worst book ever. She’s just gone downhill as a RUclipsr in my opinion.
klblythe She's not genuine. Hasn't been for awhile
I actually that this was a really good video, too often I've stumbled across random booktube videos where they can be quite scathing of books they didn't enjoy. But I can relate much more to your perspective of not resonating with certain things and not hating the book on the whole as so much as just disliking parts of it that just weren't for you. That's cool ! And can totally relate to this, thanks Sasha ! I'm yet to read Game Of Thrones, but I am curious to see how I will fare with it haha. I sort of felt like I would stumble into a similar obstacle with Diana Gabaldon's books in that they are so dense and descriptive that my mind would feel like taking a break every 30 or so pages! But I feel like, in my experience there are pro's and cons to every author's writings, and every readers pro's and cons are different haha. Wow this turned into a bit of a rant, but I still have a great love for DG's writing and other books where I found some things challenging, and I think that's a part of the wonderful about reading. It's different for everyone, and often it inspires growth.
for a song of ice and fire I can suggest you to read the comics. they were created after the books, I mean yeah obviously... but like they're not based on the tv show that has so much less details. the comic books actually have the same amount of details as the books (I think? I've only read a game of thrones and a few issues from the comics and so far... it was very accurate). I just personally think the comics are easier and quicker to read + GRRM tends to show too many characters at once without necessarily introducing them, so maybe having them illustrated will make it more enjoyable and less... overwhelming? idk
Books I didn't like :
Yours
Loved this video! Never been here so early before! I actually really love hearing what books other people don’t like because u get to see the book from a lot of new angles which makes a book even more interesting! Thank you for making such an awesome video! Xxxx
I really loved the scorch trials and the entire maze runner series but everyone I know didn't like it 😂 I get why lots of people don't like it though, I have a signed copy of it and it's literally one of my most treasured books 😊
My favorite dystopian series ever!
Sasha! I need you to make more videos like this! This is so real af!💙 also dont ve shy about talking of the things you didnt like specifically.. It will show us transparency of your opinion and not that vague resume. I still love you its just my constructive opinion
Totally agree about Game of Thrones!! I have forced myself to read all the books, just because I'm so obsessed with the tv show that I like to know more about what is going on. But, I actually HATE the books!! They are complete and utter torture, and it takes me a good year to read them. If he ever does actually put out another book, I don't think I'll bother reading it, since he did give the show rights to use his ending. I mean, I know there are going to be some differences, because they've definitely put their own spin on various situations, but over all, I will get the gist of what is supposed to happen.
It's funny though, I love almost all of the other books you mentioned. I love the Keira Cass books (obviously not some great work of literature, but I find them super entertaining), and Scorch Trials was my favorite in the Maze Runner trilogy, and I love Da Vinci Code (I've actually been meaning to re-read it)! No hate, though! I actually want you to do more of these videos! I'm always so excited when my favorite booktubers talk about books they didn't like, because I find it so interesting to see what I agree, and disagree, about.
I just finished Zenith, and at first i was afraid to read it because a lot of people dont like it at much, but i really enjoyed it. and i cant wait for the second book.
I think videos like this definitely have their place. There’s a couple of books that I couldn’t get through and I totally get it. It amused me no end that you mentioned two of my favourites, but how boring would the world be if we were all the same? 😋☺️
"I may run into these authors at events"
at fight them in the parking lot west side story style!
Love the music playing in the background (for first few minutes). ❤️.
I really like how said they are books that simply don’t resonate with you. That’s a great word and the perfect way to describe these books. No one should feel obligated to like every book they read, even if it’s really popular!
You need to do a better job with your book reviews. They suck and you need to branch out and give well thought out reviews. That or leave booktube behind and make your channel an author youtube one.
Don't be rude! She's doing what she loves and if you don't like it then don't watch her videos. But don't be rude! Maybe her reviews are shorter and less detailed because she wants avoid spoilers, and personally, I find nothing wrong with her reviews! There was a much kinder way you could have voiced your opinion, but if you're going to be rude about it, don't comment!
I totally approve your opinion on Bloodlines... I love The Vampire academy, it was the series that got me into reading and I will always gonna say good things about it and recommend it, but the Bloodlines I've read just to see what happens after but I had problems reading it and I almost didn't wanted to finish it
“I don’t even know if he’ll ever finish this series to be honest,”
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH, CALLLLEDDDD OUTTT,
I’ve been waiting for so long to see the next Song of Ice and Fire book come out... and there is still 2 more at like age 70 something he is!
I wish you could be more ranty, that's more enjoyable for me to watch
in your own words, is this attention seeking?
Lmao I’m sleep deprived and was wondering why you were playing spongebob in the background. Lmaooooo
Agreed about Game of Thrones. I tried to read it and got about halfway through and just couldn't be bothered anymore
I loved or am really looking forward to reading some of the books you mentioned in this video, but I totally agree with you on the Da Vinci Code (I literally finished it last night, what a coincidence)... though I do wish you'd go into more detail on why you didn't like each book
Why is everyone in this comment section so rude?
If you don't like Sasha's videos, unsubscribe quietly. If you don't like Zenith, give it a critical review on Goodreads.
There's no reason to comment hate under someone's video.
Thank god, I’m not the only one with a problem about the Bloodlines series. I only have the collection because of my loyalty to Richelle Mead. I believe the series was unnecessary and dull compared to Vampire Academy.
I share the exact opinion with you on The Song of Ice and Fire series.
I think you need to organise your bookshelves and film it hehe 🤗 I lovee watching those
Not reading the ASoIaF series is fine but preferring the show to it is something else. It peaked in season 3 and has been going downhill since. Poor writing, terrible dialogue and the writers think they're better than Martin. What do you even think is good about it?
I have not read the books (too long and detailed for me at the moment, plus, it's not even finished) but I love the TV show.
AuroraXA
What do you think is so good about it?
Well I think it peaked at season 4 and then went downhill. The last season was atrocious.
supershinigami1 you know your opinion isn’t like, fact right
Austin Cantley
Well if you've watched everything after season 4 you should see yourself that it's terrible.
As much as I love Sasha I need to say this, when she shares negative reviews it's good and bold and 'everyone has their own opinion' and when smaller reviewers negatively reviewed Zenith, it's for attention? Also I really feel like authors these days should own the fuck up to the toxicity in their writing (Sarah J Maas, Colleen Hoover, Cassandra Clare ahem) Like, your stories are great and compelling but problematic at parts too. Also the writing isn't that strong but no one really cares about that these days.
I was struggling with A Game of Thrones too, until this summer. Pro tip if you ever decide to give it another go Sasha: try the audiobook! Really, it made all the difference for me. :D
I totally agree about The Heir. Totally couldn’t connect to the characters like I could with the first three books. The romance was weird too, totally no connection.
When I first read the Heir, I hated it too because I didn’t like Eadlyn, but then the second time I read it I related to her more and really liked her!
I really love how respectful you are about disliking these books! It’s totally ok to dislike a book, just as it’s totally ok to like a book. We’re all different people and we’ll all like different things!
I agree with you about the Bloodlines series. It was a great concept on its own, but wasn't stand out compared to the Vampire Academy books. Loved the video.
Waaait I totally understand if you didn’t like the first book but did you ever read past the first book in the bloodlines series ?
Oh my gosh I loved The Vampire Academy series and didn’t even know there was a follow up series!
I loved all three books in the maze runner series and didnt enjoy the movies as much lol 😅 except the first one, I loved the first movie.
I've never read these books so I can't say if they were good or not. But I would like to read The Selection series or at least the first book, but I'm not sure. I read an excerpt of the first few chapters of the first book and I thought it was okay. But it's probably better the more I read. I mean, it was the first few chapters. Should I still read it??
Sasha! What happened to your bookshelves!?
Zenith is a dumpster fire.
Screw you! Zenith is a good book! Don't put that rude comment here! I was going to write something rude, but I'm not! You are just awful! Sasha probably saw this comment and is upset! Thanks for upsetting a really good person!
Good person or not, the book was trash. And to think trees died for that.
Even if you think a book is completely awful, the author(s) still put a lot of time and effort into writing it, and also a lot of their creativity and passion. You can absolutely hate a book but there's no reason to be rude and deliberately upset someone.
I'm currently rereading Game of Thrones so that way I can continue on with the series. I also have only watched the the first season of the show. High Fantasy is definitely such a niche place for a lot of people. I've been reading high fantasy since like 12 years old 😂. But that's just because I really like big fantasy worlds
I did really enjoy the Game of Thrones. But I do understand what you said about. I also found that I had favourite characters and would rush some of the other chapters to get to my favourite characters chapter. I can see why there are mixed opinions on it. Xxx
I'm currently readin a storm of swords part two and there are parts that are extremely dense but i just go through them because there's always a plot point in each chapter.
IMO Zenith is pretty trashy.
Zenith is good! Stop trashing an authors book on her channel! This is a form of cyberbullying!
I don't understand why this video I particular is getting so much hate, she's literally just saying her option on books she doesn't like and then in return people are hating on her book because why? Why this particular video, it's not even like most of them are constructive criticism, just using loads of bad language to hate for the sake of hate
I wish you had merch
Matched series by Ally Condie, Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins and Even when you lie to me by Jessica Alcott and The Heir by Kierra Cass. I like to pretend that last one's series ended with The One lol.
I was so let down by the Maze Runner books. I hate getting invested in characters or a series and then the ending just doesn't work for me.
❤️ I love your background music!
There are many books I don't like to many to list but like you said we all have different tastes. As for Game of Thrones, yes I love it and I understand what you are saying, it's okay if you couldn't get through it and that's fine, there is a lot of detail and background in that book. The TV show is great.
Music in the Backgrounds of Talking videos is so annoying 😔 I can't focus.
I HATED THE HEIR!!!! 😂 I agree I didn’t like the main character. She was extremely annoying!
The not so secret life of Emma. I somehow was able to finish the Selection series and oh boy did I end up hating them, like at the end of the series I was like “....I’ve just wasted my time....” and I just couldn’t with the spin off lol
the heir somehow made the ENTIRE series a lame book series, well at least on my opinion tho. their child is soooo spoiled but in the end tho she became a strong figure and made herself out of her parents' shadow
i agree. i read the series when i was in middle school and LOVED the first three, but the spin off series just wasn’t good.annoying main character, not enough plot, and she didn’t end up with who i wanted her to
The amount of butt-hurt people pissed at Sasha for not liking the game of thrones books is ridiculous like lmao chill she didn’t like it she’s allowed to have an opinion wtf
Well I don't think they're that butt hurt really. I can only speak for myself. I used to read exclusively YA, but recently I've ventured into the literary fiction and epic fantasy and I've been really enjoying it! I think some people like myself are just frustrated that her chanel hasn't evolved very much and that she isn't open to trying books outside the YA genre. And this is from someone who used to be a huge YA fan, but I think to truly broaden your scope of literature all different types of books should atleast be given a chance before dismissing it completely.
Rusafa Hussain you’re absolutely right but I was only talking about the people who were blatantly rude and weren’t giving her any constructive criticism to better herself like you did 👍🏼 and some even used the point that you used (not reading other genres) as a reason for her not liking the books, which, to me, sounds ridiculous.
@@SolitudeDayys Yeah I completely agree. I don't see why people need to be overly rude. There is a respectful way of expressing your opinion (but that doesn't exist in RUclips I guess). And regardless of the viewers' opinions, Sasha has the right to make whatever content she wants. Even if most people agree or disagree.
I loved the Vampire Academy books and was so disappointed with Bloodlines... I am so glad I am not on my own with that. Lol.
I’ve never read the Maze Runner series, I’m just not interested in it anymore. But I love the movies! I’ve also never read Selection. Started it though but ugh. Didn’t enjoy it.
I was literally just about to try and resell the bloodlines series bc I tired of them and never read the last book (unlike the VA series which I stormed through) and here Sasha is validating my giving up on them bc you don’t really like them either, spooky
I agree with the "Heir" in my opinion she was a very spoiled character, but the plot wasn't so bad.
I agree with you about The Heir. My daughter and I loved the previous three but The Heir fell flat for us. The Crown (the last one in the series), from what my daughter said (I've yet to read it), is much better.
ik you said you didn't like it, but the concept of the davinci code is is interesting, definitely adding it to my tbr!
i feel the same way about the selection series
A Song of Ice and Fire is my favourite adult fantasy series!
An awesome book trilogy that I think you'd absolutely love would be the sea of ink and gold, by Traci Chee.
I also didn’t enjoy that much Heir by Kiera, I actually didn’t finish it. But I really like the ones before that one.
I actually wasn’t as into Bloodlines as I was with Vampire Academy, but I’ve been re reading all of them, and loving them way more than the first time!
You look like game of throne cast and you dont like the book...irony
xb06 yl?? I don't see the correlation lmao, does that mean she has to like it? Wtf 😂😂
@@tasmint4849 no, but at least she like the tv show
I cannot believe you didn't like Bloodlines, for me it was much more interesting then the Vampire Academy :)
I haven’t been able to finish the Cruel Prince. Maybe since because unless it’s Sarah J Maas or Cassandra Clare, I really can’t get into books about faeries. Like worlds and people are always strange to me and I never quite get them. Also Wonder Woman by Leigh Bardugo. I haven’t been able to finish the one either. I bought it because of I was very intrigued with it being about Wonder Woman which is an epic storyline it’s kind of hard to beat the original storyline. And I don’t know I just didn’t care or connect with the characters and maybe it’s just because the movie was so epic that the book just didn’t hold a candle. Which is sad because I love the Grisha Universe. But Wonder Woman was just lacking something. It’s like with Roseblood being a retelling of the Phantom of the Opera, it’s hard to retell such an epic story and have the same wow factor that the Originals have. And so I didn’t care for Roseblood. I really couldn’t finish the Selection series. And I prefer the movie of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Maybe it’s because I watched the movie first but I really liked the characters in the movie. And some of the characters in the book just kind of annoy me.
This is random but your skin is sooo clear and amazing!!!
Do you have any opinions on some good ADULT Fantasy Science Fiction books? With characters that are a bit older and more mature? I love the young adult novels, but would like to read a more mature main character. I'm reading Adventures in Underland right now and that's a bit much with the swearing. I'm on chapter 7 and I can't listen to it on Audible in a house full of kids that's for sure. And I don't like the reverse harem stories. I'm more into 2 star crossed forbidden lovers ;)
No she cant because like I mentioned before most of these youtubers read simpleton YA novels they finish in a day... and when they try adult fantasy like game of thrones they cant finish it or find it too boring or difficult ... Try Game of Thrones before watching the show its amazing
Or try The way of Kings by brandon sanderson. All adult fantasy are very large and over 700 pages of tiny writing... a way of kings is 1k pages and the next one in the series is 1.3k pages.
I'd be surprised if Sasha could recommend an adult fantasy book tbh, she's a hardcore ya reader
@@nalad9387 ya know it!
I don't mind the YA novels honestly. I'm only slightly embarrassed to say I'm STILL a huge Twilight, Fallen and Hunger Games fan. Movies and books. I love the silly star crossed lovers thing. I read the Black Dagger Brotherhood books. To me it was mostly just a vampire 50 Shades book. I'd like kind of like an R rated Twilight ;) or something where the main character isn't a whiney 16 yr old. I HAVE a whiney 16 yr old hahaha and I would like to read a more mature POV. I like many of the books Sasha recommends, but again, just would like to read these books with a more mature MC.
but at the same time I haven't got to the heir yet but I love you and I wasn't trying to be rude
A suggestion for Sasha if you want to try A Games Of Thrones again, research all the lore of this world. Watch GOT youtubers and get to know some of the book content before picking it up again, it helped me a lot.
